    Despite her early fame, Jamie made the decision to focus on her academic career and now as she receives her college diploma, she also releases her new CD, The Secret's Out.  Highly autobiographical, it showcases Jamie's tremendous lyrical talents and unique vocal style combining her love of jazz, pop and R&B with appearances by Jay-Z on "Can't Play Me", and Gillie Da Kid on "Stop Traffic."  Jamie has also recorded an homage to our troops with the song, "I Salute Thee," and will be playing live at select military bases in June and July.

    The album, released on PhillieTown Records, is available digitally through all major online retailers, and is distributed by Scorpio in the United States. Visit Jamie's website at http://www.jamieknightmusic.com/
